The bouquet offers notes of blackberry, black cherry, and plum, with hints of spice, garrigue, and earthy minerality, evolving towards notes of leather and licorice with age. The palate is full and structured, with velvety tannins and lively acidity that balance the concentrated fruit. Its terroir, marked by pebbles, imparts a distinctive minerality, enhanced by aging in French oak barrels, reflecting the traditional winemaking methods of Les Cailloux. The finish is long and powerful, with significant aging potential.
